Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 1 The Deal

I walked into a big mansion.I held my breath for a second.The ceilings were high end with sparkling chandeliers hanging down.The curtains were beautiful and fluffy and they moved with the slightest wind.

I wrapped my hands around my arms.I couldn't count the numerous air conditioners in the room.It was very large that for a second,I thought I have come to the wrong place.

This was the second largest mansion I was seeing,after that of my foster parents.

"Miss Valdez,this way please" a woman in white apron gestured and I stopped my admiration of the place and followed her.

We moved further down and came before a steel door.The apron lady pressed a button and the door pushed open before them.

I stepped in along with her and my heart almost jumped out of my chest the moment it started moving.

It was moving so fast that I had no other option than to grab the lady beside me,for fear of falling.Not that I had never been in an elevator,but this..the speed of this one could easily tell anyone that the amount was not smiling.

"Have you not been in an elevator before?!" the lady said in annoyance as she pulled my grip off of her.

Losing control,I swerved to the other side and scratched my arm against an iron steel.I wasn't the least annoyed with the lady,trust me I have seen people with worse sense of humor.

Seeing that I was already feeling a bit dizzy,I sprawled myself across the floor of the elevator.I could feel the lady's piercing stare at me but I don't care.I still have my life to live and I cannot afford to die.

Not yet at least since I haven't met the love of my life.

It finally stopped and I stepped into another larger room.Okay..so where are the owners of this large house?

The lady disappeared inside another room and came out seconds later.She disappeared again and I busied myself with cleaning off the small blood that had seeped out of her wound caused in the elevator.

I heard the creak of a door and when I looked up I couldn't believe what I was seeing.The lady that approached from the door looked exactly like me! I slowly stood up to my feet.

I'll have to correct myself though.Not exactly like me because she had this make up stuff done all over her face and on her body was a high tuxedo gown and I need no one to tell me that it would cost millions of dollars.

I was now wondering how such a beautiful woman could be on a wheel chair! She smiled at me.

"I see you've made yourself feel at home already." she said as the wheel chair automatically moved on its own accord.

I quickly snapped out of my thoughts of her

"I.. I'm sorry.I just-" I began

"It's okay.Have a seat" the woman said

"I am Stephanie Collins,wife of Edward Collins" she introduced herself.

With that introduction did she really expect me to know who she is? Those names didn't ring a bell.

"Sorry but uhm.." how would I put this? "..those names don't ring a bell."

Stephanie frowned.Was this girl really serious right now? How could the name of the most influential CEO not ring a bell? But she couldn't get angry because of the quest at stake.

"Collins is the name of the most influential groups in Illinois right now,how could you not know that?"

"Sorry" I smiled "I have other things better than sticking my nose in others business" I answered

"Not knowing something that the whole world knows is not sticking your nose in others business,it is stark ignorance." Stephanie replied,half annoyed

"Oh Miss.." I struggled to remember the name "...Miss Collins I can assure you that not the whole world knows of your famous group."

"What?" she exclaimed

"Yes.Like me for example.I am just hearing this for the first time and I am certainly part of the whole world."

"You're not even a somebody and I know you." Stephanie said.

I was slightly hurt at that word but I didn't let it show.It's better if I just go straight to the point

"What exactly did you call me here for,Miss..." I had forgotten again but I didn't mind.

Stephanie sighed "I need your help." she said and that surprised me.

She just fucking called me a nobody!

"You might be wondering why Mr Collins would marry a woman on wheel chair"

No..I didn't wondered that.I said in my mind

"Well,we met with an accident and it was very ghastly.We didn't die,by my husband's sheer instincts but I was fatally wounded" she continued

I wondered why she was telling me this.

"The doctor said I was paralyzed from the waist downwards"

"I'm sorry" was all I could say

The chair moved a bit.

"I love my husband very much.I want to give him everything he wants but because of my condition I cannot give him a child.The heir to all his wealth and riches.Just a child"

I was feeling really uncomfortable now.What does all this have to do with me?

She held my gaze

"I need your help" she said more firmly this time "I'll give you ten billion dollars or more.I will change your whole life,Diana"

I had a confused look on my face.

"Mrs Collins I have no idea what you're talking about.I...I thought this was supposed to be an interview.I'm desperately in need of a job.I just..I just didn't expect this!" I expressed my disappointment with slumped shoulders.

Just early that morning a receptionist called me and said I was expected for an interview that morning.I wanted to know how she got my number but just like this Stephanie the receptionist ignored my question and said a limousine would pick me up.

I had explained to my housemate,Lillian who had forced me to get ready immediately thinking life had smiled at me

Our rent has gone due and there was no foodstuffs left in the house and Lillian's pole dancing job wasn't bringing in enough.

"I am offering you more than a job.This is a lifetime fortune, Diana"

"How do you know my name?" I snapped back

She sighed.Stephanie didn't expect it to be this hard to convince her.

"You're the perfect person for this job.I want my baby to look handsome and beautiful.You are beautiful although you need few touches here and there."

"You are asking me to ..to... sleep with your..your husband?" I didn't even try to hide the disgust in my tone.

"Don't be disgusted.A lot of women would throw themselves at this golden opportunity." she replied

"Then get those women and don't bother me." I was quick to reply "How could you want another woman to..to.. that's bullshit!"

"Like I said, you're the perfect match.A little touch and nobody will be able to differentiate between you and I.We look alike,which is quite helpful."

I shaked my head

"That way no one would question the baby's resemblance." she said

I tore my gaze away from hers.How can I look like this woman?!

"You have a week to make your decision.Once you get pregnant I'll send the money into your account.During the period of your pregnancy you have the right to ask anything you want."

Stephanie moved her wheel chair towards me

"I will keep the media out of this" she said in a low tone "No one,not even your family or your friends are supposed to know.The day you agree you'll sign a legal document to avoid any scandal"

Stephanie's soft countenance changed all of a sudden.I couldn't see the helpless woman I saw before-the woman I'd felt pity for

This one looked like a chameleon,changing all of a sudden.

"You're allowed to do anything but you cannot fall in love with my husband" she narrowed her eyes "It's against the deal."

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.
